Viscoelastic measurements of fracturing fluids for proppant transport application.
(2001)
One of the primary functions of a fracturing fluid is to transport and distribute proppant through a fracture and to keep the particles suspended till reservoir closes on the fracture. The proppant when suspended and ...
The "Five Advertising Songs" and the "Gravestones at Hancock, N.H.": A study of two song cycles composed by Nicolas Slonimsky.
(2001)
Slonimsky was also a composer. His works are not widely known, but he wrote songs, piano pieces, and orchestral works. Two song cycles, The Five Advertising Songs, and The Gravestones at Hancock, N. H., are probably among ...
Analysis of energy conserving low-order models.
(2007)
It is well known in Mathematical Physics that the Volterra gyrostat and many of its special cases including the Euler gyroscope represent a prototype of energy conserving dynamical systems. It is formally proved in this ...
Panamanian art music for strings: Works for violin/piano and viola/piano by Roque Cordero, Eduardo Charpentier, and Fermin Castanedas.
(2006)
This dissertation documents a portion of the contribution that Panama has made to the world of classical music. The study focuses on the literature for violin and viola by Panamanian composers Roque Cordero, Eduardo ...
An Analysis of State and Local Public Expenditure and Output-Maximizing Spending Optimums
(2008)
Much academic literature exists surrounding the relationship between government size and economic output at the federal level, yet only a few studies investigate such a relationship at the sub-federal level. This work ...
Biosurfactants: Characterization, Microemulsion Formation and Potential Applications
(2009)
Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ...
Semi-active structural control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics: Design, stability analysis, and experimental verification.
(2001)
The dissertation presents the development and experimental validation of control laws that provide stable closed-loop behavior and good performance for semi-active control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics. In ...
College students with disabilities: Building self-determination and self-efficacy.
(2004)
The successful pursuit of postsecondary opportunities for students with disabilities requires providing supports beyond the typical academic accommodations. Equal access to postsecondary education should include developing ...
Rewriting empire: Rewriting canonical British texts from a postcolonial perspective.
(2001)
In this dissertation, I examine several postcolonial texts that rewrite or revise an earlier English work. My objective here is to uncover the reasons why this is such a popular method of writing for postcolonial authors ...
The value of point-scale measurements of soil moisture in planetary boundary layer simulations.
(2001)
This study also investigates the sensitivity of ground heat flux estimates at NORM to naturally occurring variability in soil-water content from field samples as well as instrumentation biases associated with the in situ ...
